Awkward boy humbled by single YouTube like

Now, the youngster who goes by the username of Sir Fedora has become the internet's latest sensation – simply by being adorable.

The boy, who looks to be around eight or nine, posted his first video to YouTube on January 31 2014 announcing the beginning of the 'Sir Fedora Channel'.

At the end of the video, the youngster pleads with viewers "if we could get a like on this video it'll (sic) know that people are watching me."

Fast forward a few days and 'Sir Fedora' got his wish.

In his adorably awkward 'what Da (Bleep) happened (sic)' video, the youngster gushes his thanks to his one, dedicated viewer: "We did it! We hit the one like! I know that you guys are gonna be like 'dude, it's just one like', but it's still awesome that I know you guys are there."

Little did he know, things were about to get a whole lot more awesome.

In a video entitled 'Thanks Soooo Much' the wide-eyed and visibly excited youngster humbly thanks viewers for not only liking his video but also to subscribing it.
